This course puts the work of UNMOs and other Military Experts on Mission in context by offering an enhanced explanation of peacekeeping operations in general and by illustrating specific methods and techniques for serving on a peacekeeping mission. Beginning with a strategic overview of the United Nations, the course moves through the operational spectrum of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and ends at the tactical level of “on the ground” knowledge and skills required for an individual UNMO to succeed.
This course has been updated and revised by a new course author, Lieutenant Colonel Egil Nordli (retired), Norway. LTC Nordli has extensive field experience as a senior military officer in international operations, including most recently his service as the Military Assistant to the Head of Mission in the United Nations Supervision Truce Organization (UNTSO) from 2009 to 2011. He is also an accomplished military trainer. He held the appointment of Chief Instructor of Combined Joint Operations/CIMIC at the Norwegian University College and Norwegian Defence Command and Staff College at the time of his retirement – an appointment he held twice during the period 2002-2011. His experience and expertise is reflected in both new and expanded lessons through updated practical recommendations and new technical detail. Fourteen lessons.

"This course was extremely useful in my attempt to understand the difference between PKO and MILOBS. Also, i gained the common interest of both!
I hope in the future to participate in this very interesting activity as Military Observer to help some country in need to find the peace road. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!
Best Regards"
